yapar

Yapar is the third-person singular present tense form of the Turkish verb yapmak, commonly translated as "he does" or "she makes." The base infinitive is yapmak, meaning “to do” or “to make.” As a finite verb, yapar can stand without an explicit subject when the subject is understood from context.

Grammatical formation: The present tense suffix -ar/-er attaches to the stem yap-, with Turkish vowel harmony determining which variant occurs, yielding yapar. The verb is regular and widely used in everyday Turkish. Other tenses are formed by combining the stem with different suffixes or auxiliaries, for example yapıyor for present continuous, yaptı for past, and yapacak for future.

Usage examples: O yapar means “He/She does it.” The form can convey habitual or general statements, as in O her gün ödevini yapar (“He does his homework every day”). The infinitive yap-mak is used when referring to the act itself or when forming noun phrases such as yapma (“the act of doing”).

Notes: Turkish verbs are highly inflected, and yapar demonstrates how a single stem carries person and tense information. It is distinct from related forms like yapıyor (present continuous) or yaptı (past simple). The base verb, yapmak, is widely taught and appears in everyday speech, literature, and media.
